n loving memory of Peter V. Nelson,
When I started with the Boy Scouts at Nassau County Council in 1976, I shared an office with Pete. Pete became a friend, mentor, big brother and father to me. He helped me become an effective professional with the Boy Scouts of America but he really helped me become a more mature human being. I remember his engaging smile and humorous nature. Pete was such a friend that I asked him to be my best man at my wedding in 1979. It saddens that he is gone.
